This, trade will be'carried on over the Pennsylvania Railroad to Harrisburg, where it Will enter on the Beading Railroad Company’s Lebanon Valley Branch, thence to Reading, and by the Reading Railroad to that Company’s wharves at This trade now affords a tonnage of about 300 tons, and, it is said, can be very considerably increased. The two car rying companies pro rate the charges, the Bead ing having about fifteen miles most of the dis tance. By the re-union of the two companies in this work, the advantage of favorable grade is secured-the entire distance, and in this res pect enables the trade of the Broad Top to com pete with rival producers in all the best and largest markets. From Huntingdon to Harris burg tbe grade of the Pennsylvania^Railroad is descending, and from Harrisburg by way of tbe Reading it is also favorable for heavy trains; whereas, from Harrisburg Eastward, by the way of the Pennsylvania Railroad, tne grade is un dulating, and in either respects not os well suit ed for iheavy freight. This fact, with a desire of those interested in the trade to have an out let for their coal on the Delaware, at Richmond, will Account for the trade taking the coarse mentioned, instead of coming all the distance by way of the Pennsylvania Railroad. TsaaißLi Catastbophb. —Oa Friday after noon last, a terrible catastrophe Recurred in Pittsburg, by which three men lost their lives and a fourth is not expected to recover. It ap pears that three men. made an agreement to dig a well for the purpose of bleeding an out-house. After it had been sunk to the depth of ten or twelve feet, one of the men tapped an opening, when ho was observed by the others to fall, in sensible to tho bottom. One of them went im mediately to bis aid but bad scarcely got his head below the level of the yard when he too fell. The pther went to tho aid of his fellows, and when a few steps above them, inhaled the foul air and fell senseless. Another person who was ..attracted to the spot, in opposition to the coun sel of those who stood around, determined on de scending to the aid of the unfortunate men, but ere he had descended far shared the fate of the others. A rope was then put around another man, who was lowered into the well and man aged to attach a rope to the sufferers, who were drawn out by those above. Two of the men were dead when token out, one died shortly af ter, and the last one that fell in is lying in a precarious condition.'

The Day Book says: That the object of this organization is to change the political and social principles of the country to*Whioh they go there is little doubt, fbr they avow this their purpose; but they do not go unlawfully armed, at least from here ; profess to go as peaceful citizens, and will re volutionize that unhappy country, not by fire and sword, but by settling in sufficient numbers within its borders, and changing and making wholesome laws, and seeing that they are en forced. They are going to introduce Anglo- Saxon energy and American prudence among a pbople who have heretofore been incapable of self-government, and who are actually inviting them to come and teach them how to live and be happy. The movement of these men toward the‘Rio Grande is pregnant with much impor tance to the South, and is the commencement of a grand programme that has been preparing for several years. n , Is The Harrisburg Patriot $ Union asksus whether “ the 50 Wide Awakes are, or are not, included ip the People’s Party Club, and if not, how many of the Wide Awakes ore boys who have no votes?” We answer that the Wide Awakes are all members of the People’s Party Club with the exception of 6 boys between the ages'of 18’ and 21.

The Duty of Christian Citizens. It is too common, with many, of the religions portion of onr citizen* to avoid to take any partin political affairs. This is wrong.. The/yejtfare :of the country depends as tanch on theta as on any otberclass of citizens. The fol lowing article a religions paper, the Chris- tian Advocate# Journal, points oat, with troth andforce, tbeirposition and duties. We com mend it whestly to the consideration of every conscientious man. “Chkibtiah Cmzßjra—Theie. Political Dc tikb.—The present may not be an inappropri ate time for calling the attention of your read ers to this subject. Our country is astir with preparations for the approaching quadrennial election; an (election that is to determine our national policy for the next four years, hud in fluence the destiny of our country for all com- ing time; The political privileges of an Amer ican citizen carrying with them peculiar obliga tions, afid he who neglects or abuses these pri- vileges wrongshis country and sins against God. One ofthe most obvious of the political duties of Christian inen is suggested in the following words, in the Pastoral Address recently issued by our General Conference; “We cannot re frain from saying that one of the wisest ways of exerting your influence is to attend the prima ry political meetings, and give your voice for good and true citizens to hold the places of pub lic interest and trust” It is not to be denied that the; performance of this duty will some times be disagreeable and even disgusting to a devout Christian. The places in which these primaryelections are held, and the character of many who are conspicuous in their management, are such that good men can have little affinity for. theni. But the unpleasantness of a duty does not render it the less obvious or impera tive. It is the neglect of these primary meet ings byreputable citizens that has given to the profligate and unprincipled an undue influence in oar political affairs. The representatives of brothels, grog-shops, ' and gambling-hells are sure to be present on these occasions, and often in such: force as to have everything their own way. And such is the drill and discipline of political parties that in many coses a Caucus nomination is equivalent to an election to office. The rank and file of the party vote for the regular nominee, and give themselves little trouble about his honesty or capability. There can be no doubt that the moral and Christian men of the country hold in their hands the pow er by Which; this evil is to bo corrected, and for the right use of that power they are responsible to God. “To him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” If it be desira ble that the rulers of the people be “ able men, such as fear Clod, men of truth, hating covetous ness,” Christians expose themselves to just censure when through their supineness men of an opposite character are placed in these posi tions of honor and responsibility. Every Chris tian elector is bound to be os faithful and con scientious in the use of his influence in these primary meetings as if he alone were answera ble for the nominations made. When the best men arc in nomination for office, the duty of voting for them, and of using all honorable and Christian efforts to secure their election, is so obvious as hardly to admit of arguments in its defense. Xnd ypt there are thousands of Chris tian voters in our country who seldom or never use the elective franchise. Engrossed with their private affairs, or disgusted with the chi canery and corruption of party lead&s, they stand, aloof from all political matters. Wheth er the righteous are in authority and the people rejoice, or the wicked have rule and the people mourn, seems to be with them a matter of little, consequence. Surely such persons have not well considered the obligations of American citi zenship. The privilege that they neglect with indifference, is one for which our fathers were ready to sacrifice their worldly interests, and even life itself. And this neglect, making way as it does for the pernicious influence of dema gogues and godless politicians, is one of the really alarming signs of the time's. So rank is the growth of, political corruption among ns that thoughtful men ore beginning to inquire whether our attempt at'self-government is not to prove a failure. We trust not. God has placed within the reach of this nation a glorious destiny. But if this destiny is to be realized, the pious and patriotic men of the country must discharge their political duties “discreetly, and in the fear of God.” The right to a voice in tbb choice of our rulers is a talent that is to be used for the glory of God, not wrapped in a napkin and buried. Political duties are no more to be neglected than social or domestic ones, but are to bp brought thoroughly under the control of religious principles. The rule of life that we recognizees of paramountauthority is laid down by the apostle in these words: “Whether there fore! ye eat or drink, or whatever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” This law reaches to all men, and is binding in all of life’s relations.*— We hfe to be as truly religious in voting as in praying. ;We are to place the glory of God be fore us on election day ho less than on the Sab bath. We are to go to the polls as we go to the house of God, having inscribed upon whatever we £o, “ Holiness to the Lord.” Let this be done and glory will dwell in our 1 and, and the mercy of the Most High be upon us from gener ation to generation. Kossuth and Hungary to be Counted in.— The political prophets who are again in their fa vorite pastime of telling us what course events ore’sure to to take in Europe must not forget to asign dueimportance to the port Hungary is like ly io take in the general scrimmage that seems so imminent. Whenever Austria seems especi ally relootant to take part in any foray against Republicans, it should be understood that next a lack of money the cause of her hesitancy is to be found in her fear of a rising in Hungary. The present governor of that province reports that nothing but large concessions will prevent the Hungarians from rising in case Austria should attempt to defend Naples or Rome, or should muster largely in Venttia. it is even stated that Kossuth is now station ed inearthe frontiers with several thousand troops (Abiding his time, and that Qaribaldi deems Hungarian aid of such' importance that heproposes to attempt next to rouse the Groa ts, by| landing in Crotia. It is well known that the Hungarians are no better satisfied with the pre sent condition of things than they were with that which preceded their revolution the Emperor of Austria may well hesitate ere he removes hid great army from their neighbor hood. Kossuth Is an elder and wiser man than be; was in the first Hungarian revolution. He < has no doubt been much profited by his visit to countries, especially the United v States. Nbthingprobably helped more to make Louis Napoleop the sharp nib he is, than his inter cdnrae With Americans, and Kpssutii has seen much mppe of jus than he has, and in combina tion with the less astute, hut perhaps nobler Ghribaldi, he may yet do great things for South ern Europe.—fAite.

The panic and axcitemcnt in Eastern and Northern Texas seem, at last accounts, to have peached their highest pitch.

There appears to have been some tampering with slaves by whites, but these whites appear tohave Been residents of Texas,' and not emissaries of the North.. We take the following extracts from a letter to tbe New York Herald, dated San Antonio, August 20th: “What was but a few days ago one of the most flourishing towns in Texas, is now a crum bled ruin, smoking from the ground. The town of Henderson was set on fin in several places, all at once, between sunset and dark, while the people were quietly enjoying their evening meal. There was a stiff breeze on at the time—every thing was parched by the late protracted and withering drought—and the flames crackled on beyond the power of man to arrest them.— Scarcely anything was saved. Families, that were a few moments before in affluent circum stances, were rendered penniless and miserable. Two of the white abolition scoundrels who inci ted the negroes to and assisted them in this hor rible wotjt, were fortunately caught and imme diately strung np between heaven and earth. We received intelligence, also, this morning, of the burning of two other small towns in Eas tern Texas—Bellevue and Banger-field. Abolitionists ore being bung all over the State. 1 suppose during the last thirty days not less than twenty have been strung up, and every mail brings us accounts of fresh hang ings. The people are exasperated beyond all bounds, and 1 fear some innocent persons have suffered, and will yet suffer. It is not to be ex pected that people in tbe midst of a servile in surrection, with their propterty burning down on their heads, and their wells being filled with poison, should always act with judgment. The excitement growing out of these matters has killed off all conservative feeling in Texas. You may now note down every Texan as a dis unionists. They do not caro what you all do at the North. We believe that this state of things will continue so long os the Union lasts ; there fore the great majority of us do not care bow soon the crisis comes. We believe it is bound to come, and it may as well do so now as any other time. We do net caro the toss of a cop per whom you elect President. If you elect Douglas, or Breckinridge or Bell, this hollow Union will continue a few years longer; and if you elect that miserable old roil splitting aboli tionist, Abe Lincoln, you only hasten, by a few years, the event which is Sound to transpire.— Therefore let every Northern man do as he chooses. If he is a black Republican, and at the same timein favor of the Union, let him not fear to vote for Lincoln, for disunion is bound to come upon us at no distant day, and there is no use of prolonging the miserable affair. History does not furnish an example of a country con taining two bitterly hostile sections which long remolded in slaiu quo." Heavy Rob debt. —Last Saturday afternoon, Aug. 25th, our venerable friend Jason Kirk, of Penn Township, in this county, -during a tem porary absence from Lome, had |his house rob bed of $l,OBO. It appears that a stranger, about 6 feet in height, with heavy sandy whis kers, reddish brown coat and black pants, called at the house and informed a small boy and a girl, who were the only persons about the prem ises at the time, that a number of cattle were in the cornfield, and they had bettor hurry and turn them out or they would destroy the corn. Whilst the girl and boy were doing the scoundrel entered the house, broke open-several trunks and two chests, and from one of the lat ter abstracted the money. About $6OO or $BOO of it was in $2O gold pieces, $2OO in eagles and half eagles, and,the balance in silver. The rob bery was not discovered until Mr. Kirk return ed from Lumber City, in the,evening, when per sons were sent in pursuit of the rubber, but no arrests, so far os we know, has yet been made. An individual answering the description of the one who sent the boy and girl to the cornfield, was seen in Curwensville’towards evening. The cattle had doubtless been turned into the corn field by the villian for the purpose of committing the robbery, —Okarfidd Journal. A Man Outwitted by his Wife. — A woman outwitted a man at Detroit, Mich., as follows: She had foand that the law would not sustain her claim to the child, which her husband was taking away with him in the cars, but she was determined to succeed. She followed and took a seat with the father in the depot, sitting near the window. The air was warm v and close, and she raised the window. Scarce a minute had elapsed before she grasped the hoy, put him through the aperture to a stout man, and he with the rapidity of lightning, darted for the street, the crowd making a clean passage for him. He gained the street safely, jumped into a hack and ordered the driver off at the top of his speed. The pursuer was too late, bat be followed as fast as he could, for the distance of a block or two, and then wisely concluded that ho had been outwitted, he found his way, pant ing with his chase back to the depot. The mother was still at the depot, but her heart was light. Her child was safe with friends, and she was happy. B@U There is a great deal of distress in the West, occasioned by the drought and failure of crops in the "country west of the Mississippi.— There is much suffering in Kansas, and we learn of a movement to obtain relief from the East.— The Choctaw tribe of Indians are also about to call on the General Government for assistance to procure provisions for the people of the Na tion, .as their crops have almost entirely been destroyed by the drought. We learn frbmgooc. authority that there will not be corn enough raised in the whole Nation to last them until Christmas, and os the appropriation of the money due the Nation failed i in Congress last session, they are going to appeal to the Govern ment for assistance in some shape to keep them from starving. A Tribute to American Missionaries.— At the late London Anniversary, the Earl of Shafts busy paid the following tribute to the American MissionatiSA: “ I do not believe that in the whole history of missions, I do not believe that in the history of diplomacy, or in the history of any negotia tions carried oh between man ffnd'mah, we: can find any thing to equal the wisdom, the sound ness, and the pure evangelibal truth of the body of men who constitute the American mission.” He says they exhibit a wonderful combination of piety and common sense; Graphic.— What order will the reader take on the following?
